On weekdays, I don't feel that this room is empty, but today Shen Man and Tang Jiuyue are left here alone, so they feel more and more quiet and weird.

After two moments of speechlessness, looking at the steaming puffer fish on the table, Shen Man swallowed his saliva and said, "It's not interesting to eat fish alone, why don't you go to the kitchen to find a few more appetizers, and let's have a drink?" ”

Tang Jiuyue's eyelashes swept lightly, and she said neatly, "Okay." ”

So the master and apprentice began to drink in this dream room. Tang Jiuyue's alcohol consumption is actually very good, and because of her special physique, she has never been drunk. But because there is a good friend Lime Gate Supervisor who has no alcohol around him, this guy is easy to become a crazy woman when he gets drunk, and he will play the piano when he is crazy, and the last time he was drunk, he murdered hundreds of roosters in Kyoto with the sound of the piano, and the chickens chirped wildly that night, and even the hens to be slaughtered in the palace were confused about their genders and yelled all night.

None of those princes and princesses could sleep, and on the second day, the chief of internal affairs ran to Taige anxiously with black circles under his eyes and said that he wanted to arrest the real murderer, but was blocked back by Tang Jiuyue. At that time, Lime was still so drunk that she almost poked the basket again.

Although Tang Jiuyue was not afraid of the inner court's accountability, she was also afraid of trouble, so she ordered no longer to hide wine in the Taige, and at the same time banned all possible places within a radius of ten miles of Lemen, where the lime was located. Therefore, there is a rumor circulating in the Taiko that "the gate prison hates people who drink alcohol and never drinks".

But Shen Man didn't know anything about it, firstly, she had been here for a short time, and secondly, she herself did not drink. It's just that tonight is a long night, and there is a delicious poisonous fish in front of the two of them, and she thinks she should have some drinks to help the fun.

Tang Jiuyue's posture of pouring wine was still elegant, and the white jade cup was two-thirds full, and it was handed to Shen Man. When Shen Man took it, he accidentally or unintentionally touched Tang Jiuyue's slender jade fingers, pretending to be inadvertent, but he was a little proud in his heart.

If you can stay by Tang Jiuyue's side like this all the time, are you afraid that you won't be able to eat a little tofu from time to time?

She also has a little Jiujiu in her heart, with her own calculations.

Tang Jiuyue said lightly and said, "Look at your appearance, has Zhou Ting's embroidered bag arrived?" ”

Shen Man took out a bag from his arms and handed it to Tang Jiuyue and said, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." ”

Tang Jiuyue took the embroidered bag and took it in her hand to observe it carefully. Then he opened it, poured out the phalanges and held them in his hands. Close your eyes and meditate.

Shen Man didn't dare to disturb on the side. The candle flame next to it "snapped" and jumped, and the shadows of the two people also jumped.

"Sure enough."

"How?" Shen Man asked. Acting separately today, Tang Jiuyue went to the meteorological gate, and so far there has been no news other than bringing back a poisonous fish.

Tang Jiuyue said in a deep voice, "I went to see my uncle today and smelled a fragrance on his body, this fragrance is not a floral fragrance or other ordinary fragrance, but a kind of burning incense. Since we are Yin Yang Daomen, we naturally don't go to places like temples, so when we think about it, my uncle may have set up a mourning hall in his room, and he may be worshipping someone. ”

"Is it worshipping Tang Gongzi?"

Tang Jiuyue looked at Shen Man and said quietly, "It may also be worshipping his wife." ”

"And then, have you determined who he is worshipping?"

Tang Jiuyue's mouth closed one by one, and she said slowly, "Looking at the spirit card hidden in the cabinet, it is indeed worshipping Tang Gongzi." ”

Shen Man pondered, "Since this is the case, it means that Tang Huiyuan has long known that his son is dead, but he still claims to be missing, why is this?" ”

"Although he announced that he was missing, he never mentioned the progress of Tang Gongzi's matter in recent years, which shows that he actually knew that he could not find Tang Gongzi." Tang Jiuyue turned the white jade cup in her hand, something was floating in her eyes, "There is a force suppressing this matter." ”

Shen Man said strangely, "It's so strange to know that your son is dead, but you want to help the real murderer cover up the truth." She paused, looked at Tang Jiuyue and said, "Can't he even tell you the truth?" ”

Tang Jiuyue shook her head, "Back then, I only cared about taking the exam, and after entering the Taige, I went into retreat according to the instructions of Zou Damen, and I knew almost nothing about the outside world, so I missed this secret." ”

Shen Man pondered for a while, "Where does that finger bone point out where Tang Gongzi is?" ”

Tang Jiuyue took a deep breath, "In the meteorological gate." ”

Shen Man was stunned, "In the meteorological gate?" But didn't Zhou Ting say that the 'little bird' was in Dingli, why was it in the weather gate? ”

"I guess that my cousin was in Nading at first, but then he was moved out, and Zhou Ting saw the scene where my cousin was killed and hidden in Dingli, so I always thought that he was still in Nading."

"If so, who was the one who removed his body later?" Shen Man became more and more confused, "Since this person has already recognized Tang Gongzi's corpse, why didn't he talk about it?" ”

Tang Jiuyue's tone was flat, but her words were amazing, "This person is none other than my uncle, Tang Huiyuan's supervisor." ”

"Huh?" Shen Man was so frightened that he accidentally choked, and hurriedly bent over and coughed. At this time, a pair of hands reached over and gently patted his back. After Shen Man found out whose hand it was, he choked even more.

Tang Jiuyue frowned, "Why are you so careless...... so she increased the force in her hand, but she never thought that this would almost cause Shen Man's internal injuries in the future, and Shen Man, who was almost harmed, could not practice martial arts.

Shen Man spat out a mouthful of blood and froze.

"This ......"

Tang Jiuyue glanced at it and asked, "Xiaoman, have you suffered internal injuries?" ”

Shen Man wanted to cry without tears, "I haven't been beaten, except for you, ......"

Tang Jiuyue didn't speak for a while, and after a long time, she coughed lightly and diverted the topic, "I think about it, there is only one reasonable explanation for this qiē matter, that is, when Tang Gongzi was killed by Zhou Gai, he was first hidden in Dingli, and later he was transported out and buried in the field outside the city. ”

"That piece of land has been given to Tang Huiyuan as a dowry, isn't Zhou Gai afraid of being discovered by Tang Huiyuan?"

Tang Jiuyue wrote lightly, "Zhou Gai has studied the art of war, and he knows 'surprise', who would have guessed that the person who has been missing for a long time will be under his nose?" ”

"But the Tang Gate Supervisor is a person in the Yin and Yang Dao, and Zhou Gai may not know that our Yin and Yang Dao has its own unique method of finding people." Shen Man's face showed sympathy, "Presumably Tang Huiyuan found Tang Gongzi's bones here afterwards, and he was heartbroken." ”

"Well," Tang Jiuyue nodded and continued, "but he didn't say anything. ”

"Why the hell is that?" Shen Man felt incredible, "That's his only son, there is no reason for him to ignore it like this." ”

Tang Jiuyue shook her head lightly and sighed, "Tang Huiyuan is an official of the imperial court, and there is one person who has to listen to his orders. ”

Shen Man's eyes widened in surprise, "You mean-" She paused, her teeth gurgling, and said angrily, "How can this be?!" ”

Tang Jiuyue didn't have much emotion, and muttered softly, "This is the sorrow of being a courtier." ”

Shen Man bit his lip and thought about it for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said with a glow in his eyes, "This Ding should not have seen the light of day again, but now it has appeared in front of everyone, and there are so many murders involved, is it-"

Tang Jiuyue looked at Shen Man approvingly, "Yes, keep talking." ”

Shen Man tried his best to analyze things clearly, "Since there is a hint from above, Tang Huiyuan can only endure it." But he couldn't swallow this breath, so he followed the matter of the Yin-Yang Dao exam and deliberately arranged the most important examination room in the field of the meteorological gate, he wanted to use this to inform the world, and wanted to use the world's leisurely mouth to criticize Zhou Gai! ”

"□□ is not far from ten." Tang Jiuyue supported herself with one hand and asked, "Then do you think that the dozen or so corpses in this tripod are the handiwork?" ”

Shen Man was about to answer, but he heard a thick voice coming from outside the door.

"Don't guess, it's all the old man's handwriting." As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open from the outside. Shen Man trembled, she had already bolted this door, and such a thick piece of wood was actually split by the person outside with his dead strength, and it was completely broken!

The person who came was none other than Zhou Gai, who was the Shang Shuling of the Dynasty and had only seen it yesterday. When he came back early, he was pestered by Zhou Ting and said, 'The bird is gone', and after several searches, he learned that Shen Man secretly came and used 'stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix' to deceive Zhou Ting of the embroidered bag in his hand. So he changed into court clothes and rushed over, but heard Shen Man's conclusion outside the door.

Zhou Gai was full of a killing momentum at the moment, and looking at Shen Man, he almost wanted to cut Shen Man with a thousand knives. Shen Man was just stunned just now, but at the moment he was calm. Because of Tang Jiuyue, the protector by his side, Zhou Gai couldn't beat the Tang Gate Supervisor.

Tang Jiuyue smiled lightly, pointed to an empty seat and said, "Zhou Shangshu is visiting late at night, why don't you also sit down and talk?" ”

Zhou Gai also sat down, glanced at the dishes on the table, stared at the puffer fish, and a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes.

Shen Man watched intently, feeling that under the pressure of these two sabre-rattling momentum, he simply had no room to speak, so he decisively pretended to be dumb and did not intend to mix.

Unexpectedly, she didn't speak, but Zhou Gai spoke again, "I know that you were sent by Taige, and this matter has been entangled in my heart for many years, and I am also ashamed." Now that you know about it today, I will not hide it. ”

"So, you admit to killing the dozen or so lives of the Zhou Mansion and burying them in the Ding to protect your luck?" Tang Jiuyue asked.

"Yes, I did it, including Tang Gongzi's life, which I also harmed." Zhou Gai's hand on his lap slowly tightened.

"I don't understand, since Tang Gongzi is your future son-in-law, why did you kill him?"

Zhou Gai's eyes flashed, and he hesitated slightly, "That kid doesn't know the times and refuses to marry me Ting'er, so I killed him in a fit of anger." Later, I was afraid that someone would find out, so I then Yunding transported his body out and buried it in the piece of land I gave to Tang Huiyuan, which can be regarded as returning my son to him. ”

Shen Man raised his hand against his chin, thinking in his heart, listening to their questions back and forth, so this Zhou Gai really killed Tang Gongzi, and then continued to kill many people in the Zhou Mansion to protect the journey.

Tang Jiuyue was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Zhou Shangshuling, your ability to make up stories is really not clever. ”
